Looking for an ID on a hitchhiker crab from my TBS liverock from Florida

Maroon Crab with white bands on legs, sharp looking claws, no hair on his body/legs at all. looks like black tips to the claws, but looks totally different from the stereotypical gorilla crabs I've found so far. Sorry, tough to photograph, he never sits still!

Any ideas? Thanks :) A

He's been in there with relatively small fish (small yellow watchman goby, yellow assessor basslet & 2 blue gudgeon dartfish) for 3 months with nobody disappearing.

Forgot to mention he seems to burrow under the sand next to rocks, instead of disappearing into rock crevices like the typical gorilla crabs I've caught.
